Yay, fellow 10/18 people! Together we will get through this! Lol
as long as mine gets here before friday im cool. but at the rate they are preparing for shipping im not holding my breath... maybe they should say 'still being made'.
Seems every apple order is shipping before the carrier ones even though we have earlier shipping estimates
Don't worry, not here! Apple.com order still Processing with Oct 5 - 11 shipping dates. We're in a similar boat.Seems every apple order is shipping before the carrier ones even though we have earlier shipping estimates
Ugh lol my dates are sept 30-oct 7th been stuck in preparing for shipment since 9/9 LOL
I just don't get how people who went preparing to ship after some of us, got their tracking before? BS and bs on Tuesday crap. What a dumb situation after dropping so much money. No hope for Monday to those who don't have tracking, I suppose. Ridiculous
Same here. 7+ 128GB jet black. Confirmation email @ 00:15. Ships 2-3 weeks. Delivered by Oct 4 - 10 (expedited to Sep 27). Still in processing hell while I see people here with delivery dates > Oct 18th who are moving to PFS. Hopefully Apple didn't forget about us, but I think this might have something to do with the carrier models. It seems that AT&T and Verizon iPhones are moving nicely but the TMO ones especially in jet black are stuck so far... Hopefully we'll see some movement before the end of the week so we'll have a shot at getting it before the next weekend. This is getting frustrating
Until your phone number or order number appear in UPS, there's not even a shipping label created for your order. Preparing for shipment is probably when they start creating these labels but maybe the ones they didn't get through by Friday will have to be continued on Monday (if there is a physical person/team working M-F creating labels or something).
Have people seen UPS change over the weekend during this preorder?

My phone just finally left HK on its way to the US!!!! Everyone who was in my same situation check your UPS tracking!!!!!!
Ok I just had a departure scan show up just now... apparently it was scanned about an hour ago.

FINALLY! Good looking out! Departure scan of 23:57! Wonder why this flight wasn't showing up on flight aware...
I also ordered a 7+ 256GB JB AT&T for my dad and it changed to "Preparing for Shipement" sometime this morning. It's original dates were October 4-10. No shipping label yet.
I'm in the same boat as u! When I got "Prepare for Shipping" 2 days ago I thought things were starting to really move along but I've been stuck there ever since! I mean I received my confirmation at 3:03am EDT and it's been a slow agonizing trip ever since. I'm hoping for a tracking and shipping soon!
So does UPS "create labels" on weekends to send out more packages? Or do you think they'll wait until Monday
You won't be woohoo'ing on Monday when it still says 'preparing for shipment'
I've been buying new phones nearly every year since the 3GS. So I'm used to the process. Apple always sucks at updating the order status. I've had a phone in Preparing for Shipment the day after it already arrived on launch day.
I'm not worried about it sitting in Preparing for Shipment. The fact that Apple charged my credit card for the tax and changed to preparing for shipment is good enough for me.
